*Morri could not help but be at least a little flattered by the former Jedi's actions and words today... he had proven that if nothing else he would fight for her... hell he would have died for her... it kind of scared her, but rather than fighting with herself, she did what felt natural and ran a finger through his hair.*
You have terrible taste in women...
*She said, making a face at him. Then, she nodded as he spoke of the boy, sighing somewhat.*
Getting him to see in himself what others see in him could take forever... but... there's so much potential... I just couldn't let Paymon kill him... he saw him as a token pawn... a toy that could be disposed of to create a time of war... He doesn't deserve that...
*As he slowly fed her energy she began to feel a bit more herself. She appreciated it, even though she was likely the worst at admitting such things. Giving him a smile, she exhaled a bit, straightening herself... and more than a little grateful to feel like she was more than a useless heap.*
Thank you...
*She said softly, glancing over to check on the boy again. It seemed the Netra'gal had kicked in... because he was either napping or passed out... either way... it was better than the frantic and terrified look she had seen on his face earlier that day. She wasn't sure what to make of him... even less sure of what to do with him... but she knew she had to figure it out... after all Paymon's death left her with a whole lot of things to take care of... including an entire fleet that was sitting in Orbit waiting on Orders. What... a.... day...*

Johnathan smiled at Morrigna's comment. Then he replied to her statement about the boy. "Perhaps we should take him with us."Johnathan looked towards the boy,"He does have potential but he could end up never progressing, look at his age. He is definitely going to be a challenge."He spoke then tried to help Morrigna to her feet.

*Morri laughed, taking the help to her feet.*
A challenge? Oh... like YOU weren't one hell of a challenge when I first met you...
*She said giving her signature smirk, but then added...*
You're right though... he's likely best off with us... after all he's seen today, and Force only knows what the kid has already been through... he needs stability... and someone with a backbone...

Johnathan smiled,indeed he was one hell of a challenge. "Well being a former Sith had nothing to do with that."he laughed and then reached for his uncle's sword and sheath, returning the black blade to its sheath making it appear to be a cane once more, Johnathan sighed and looked up at her when she finished talking."He needs you."he spoke and gave her a wink. "Well..as much as I just love being here whats the next move on the agenda,Babe?"he asked testing the waters jokingly half taking advantage of the fact she only had her left hand and she needed it to support herself so there was a low chance of him getting slapped.

*Morri raised an eyebrow. Why the heck would anyone need her? Most people avoided her like the plague... she wasn't what you'd call the "mothering kind".*
Me? I was thinking he'd need you... you know... one stubborn male to another kind of thing...
*She teased, then hearing his next question she raised that eyebrow even further. "Babe..." What in the Force... that could take some getting used to... knowing he expected some sort of violent retaliation, she simply shrugged one shoulder, and nudged him lightly.*
I don't know, Schnookums...
*She said, obviously picking on him, and then finally taking back on her more serious attitude speaking further.*
We can either kidnap the boy while he sleeps, or wake him up and convince him to go with us... and then... well then we have to pick up where Paymon left off... He had the right idea with wanting to make things align properly within the Galaxy... he simply was going about it all the wrong way... you can't empower a government by diminishing its people... just like this kid needs a firm hand... so does this galaxy... and I'm thinking we might just be able to give it to them....
*She looked up to Johnathan, her green eyes having regained their brightness and her ambition once more.*
If... that is... you're up for a rancor sized challenge...

Johnathan sighed and looked at the boy for a moment,listening to Morri he gave a slight smile to her,well it wasn't quite what he thought he'd get in return but it was much better than a kick or a slap. Johnathan walked over to the boy while Morrigna talked to him,then checking the boys pulse he looked up,"I don't think its classified as kidnapping when they are so drunk that he probably doesn't know who he is.."he laughed then spoke up again,"I can agree to that." he said then smirked at her comment. "Good thing I have Rancor sized jewels."he winked and spoke up,"You should probably call for transport..I don't think my speeder will be of any anymore.."he said giving her a wink.

*Morri laughed, simply nodding and calling the transport for the Shopping District to the Spire. She knew it would take a few moments for it to arrive, so she walked over to where the boy lay snoring giving him a once over. Force he stank...*
I'm dipping this one square in the bacta... he needs depickled before I can do anything with him... besides... its easier to deal with pissed off teenagers when they are well contained...
*She said with a smirk. She then took the two steps needed to close the distance between herself and Johnathan, her good hand resting on his chest as she looked up to speak to him.*
Oh.. and in case I forget later...
*She said, exerting a small amount of her energy to lean up on her toes, she gives him the sort of kiss he actually deserved.*
...Thank you.
*She said simply, as she brought her heels back to the ground. She wasn't sure how he'd react to that one... she wasn't even sure how she'd react... but... it felt right, and that's what she'd been going on today... so why stop a trend now, eh?*

Johnathan laughed at her comment about teenagers then when she came over to him and kissed him..he kissed her back and when she pulled away he wasn't sure what to do,then she thanked him and he simply nodded because well he couldn't find any words to talk,once again Morrigna had rendered the Kenobi jealous.
After a minute or so he snapped out of it though and came to then looked at her,"You know..your the most beautiful woman in the galaxy."he smiled at her once again then took her left hand in his while they looked over the city of Coruscant while they waited for the transportation.

*Morri blinked as he took her hand, she was still getting used to this whole sappy stuff thing again... but even she had to admit it was nice to have someone who sincerely gave a damn about you... and whom you actually cared about as well... and then he spoke to her... something about him was sincere and endearing... and he could make her blush... that was something else she'd have to get used to. She knew that there were far more beautiful women than her out there... but if he wanted to think she was pretty... who was she to stop him? It was after all the one who'd encouraged him to think and feel for himself... she tightened her grip on his hand, a subtle thank you and replied.*
Thanks Kenobi...
*She says simply, still tired from every that had happened, but making it through thanks to Johnathan. She could see the transport arrive in the not so far distance, and knew if anything needed to be said now was the time... she didn't like prying ears of nosy people... she nudged him slightly with her elbow.*
I'm sorry...
*She said softly, continuing.*
...I'm sorry for being oblivious, for all the stuff you went through because of me... I... never realized......any of it...

Johnathan smiled softly at her then blinked.."I think thats the nicest thing you've said to me in a long time."he said to her. then as he listened to her finish he replied,"Don't apologize I am glad everything went the way it did,because now..I have you."he said then as the ship approached he looked at her again."I love you." he said.

I love you too...
*She says without thought or hesitation. She couldn't believe the words slipped off her tongue so easily. They didn't even feel so foreign as she expected them to, and it was the honest truth... she did love him... she supposed that's why he had always gotten by with more than anyone else had with her... why she had protected him from herself...
Her thoughts were interrupted by the ramp of the transport touching down on the railing of the Spire. Morri knew she had to get her head back into the dark game, no matter how much she wanted to spend more time catching up on what she had missed all this time with Johnathan. She knew letting the everyone know that Paymon was dead would be a shock to their systems and she would have to deal with the backlash... and honestly... she wanted a stim shot to cut the ache in her shoulder.
As a pair of guards move down the ramp, they give her a strange look, likely because she was standing there with what they knew as a Jedi. She gives them a look that says don't question me... and motions towards the snoring boy.*
Take him aboard... he will be joining us for the remainder of our adventures...
*She says, watching as the pair moves to carry the boy to the transport. Even though she was sticking to her business side, Morri never let go of Johnathan's hand... he was a part of the team now... and she didn't give a damn what anyone had to say about it.
Stepping up onto the ramp, she motions Johnathan to join her.*
Come dear, we have much to accomplish...
*She says, with a loving yet dark smile. She was quite looking forward to announcing the death of the piteous Paymon.*

Johnathan nodded and walked to the ramp he wasn't sure if this is what he should do,but then he thought..if it means he can be with her then he will go wherever she does. So he took a step up the ramp and followed her into the transport shuttle.

*The guards took the boy aboard and put him into the medbay as a temporary holding spot for him, meanwhile Morri stopped just short of the ship's door. Turning to Johnathan, she looked to his face, she could feel his uncertainty. She wasn't in the business of asking him to change who he was... especially not on her accord.*
You won't lose me if you don't go...
*She reminds him, giving him a chance to turn back.*
...your life is your own... don't let your love for me keep you from being who you truly want to become...
*She says, placing a hand against his cheek.*
It will take more than a difference in force alignment to change the progress we've made today...

Johnathan smiled. "We both know that even if I wanted to I couldn't go back. I want to come with you. Besides you'll need my help."he said reassuring her,being certain as the wind that he was going on with her.

*Morri nodded. That was all it took... she had to know that he was doing this because he wanted to... not simply because of her... as they head into the ship, the ramp seals, and she looks to Johnathan, asking where, if anywhere he needed to go from here. He mentions the need to pick up his belongings at the his hotel, and pay for his stay. She smiles and giving a nod, tells the pilot to move to the hotel Johnathan had mentioned...
She knew they needed to regroup with the flag ship, so she could figure out where to go from there... but they now had company, so they'd simply have to put things off for a few minutes longer.
The ship settles onto the landing pad at the hotel, and Morri makes a check on the boy... he definitely was going to need to sleep this one off... Laughing to herself, she heads back to meet up with Johnathan, and they head into the hotel to pack up his belongings.
Packing doesn't take too terribly long, he seemed to be great at getting by with little... a good trait for someone who stays on the go as much as he was known to. As they carry the bags to the lift, Johnathan makes a stop and pays for his stay, thanking them for their hospitality, and then the pair moves back to the landing pad, to rendezvous with the transport.
Since the only time they would be spending here on this ship was the short trip to Orbit, Johnathan put his belongings in a safe but convenient place for the trip, then the two slipped into the bench seating of the transport, instructing the pilot to take them back to the flagship in orbit.
As she slipped into a seat for the duration of the flight to Orbit, she sighed audibly... where exactly did she want to go from here? She needed to send a powerful message... she knew one of which should likely be done personally... on the holonet... knowing that Paymon was gone and that she would be stepping up in his stead was the first move... and then she had to send the Jedi a more personal message... she knew they'd be pissed enough at the choices Johnathan had made... and that they'd likely blame her... but if she was going to war... then she was going to do it without him having to be in the center of it... that wasn't his purpose... nor his place... in fact... as far as the Jedi went... she wouldn't even ask him to offer advice... that would be in a word... unfair.
Her thoughts were seemingly everywhere... but she did decide what her best next move would be... so as they were just about to pull into orbit, she glanced over to Johnathan, giving him a crooked smile.*
So ner jetii... how do you feel about Korriban?
(Moving to Coruscant Orbit)
